Dr. Siobh?n N? Bhriain:

I thank the Senator. The position of the HSE is neutral. We are simply here to point out the concerns we have or, if not concerns, the issues we think need to be addressed as part of any legislation. Could the safeguards protect? In other areas of care, safeguards are protective and helpful. We are simply suggesting that should this come to a consultative stage, we are absolutely happy to engage and consider those matters.
